RCA interconnects

So, I just received PS Audio Transcendent interconnects. Problem is, I cannot get them to mate with my equipment! Short of destroying the equipment or one's hands, how do you soften these suckers up so they will mate? Is there some trick anyone has discovered that will soften the clamping power? What is the trick?

Agreed about the degree of tightness required. A little tip: if you do overtighten, the little rubber gripper "pads" for getting tight jar lids open works wonderfully in allowing you to get a good grip. I have several of these cut into 3"long x 3/4"wide strips that are useful for unsticking overly tight binding posts, unscrewing cable housings, etc.

Thanks for all your advice...snug sounds like the good way to go!

Hey Mindmeat,

How are those Transcendents doing in your system? I just got me a pair and would like to hear your thoughts.

Hi Sherod --

Too soon to tell...they sound pretty good out of the box, but can't say they are dramatically better than what I had before (homemade Mogami). I need more break in time. They are also part of other system upgrades that are in progress, so I'll have a better sense when all the bits come together.
More to discover
